RUMORED DISAPPEARANCE
OF w. F.4 McCauiey, Clerk of
Williamson Dunn.

1t was reported yesterday afternoon
that w. T. McCauley, clerk for Will
hanson Dunn, of the California Cen
trail Railway Company, had disap-
peared with about $1,000 belonging to
his employer. 1t was stated that
McCauley has had the collecting of
the rents, which amount to considera-
BILE, and that instead OF turning the
money over he has used it for his own
benefit. On Wednesday last he went
to Santa Monica and spent the night.
He has not been seen since and it is
thought that he has gone to Mexico
These rumors have not been substan-
tiated, and the personal friends of
McCauley cannot believe that they
are true. He was an extremely popu-
lar young man and no reason is appar-
ent why he should do anything OF this
kind. They therefore hope that there
is no truth in the report.

SANTA MONICA.
The Many improvements and the
Re.al Estate KsC ON.


The demand for property in Santa
Monica. the fair suburb by the sea,
has been very great of late. In fact
40 much so that many people who are
strangers can hardly realize the great
increase that has taken place in the
values of land especially desirable
residence lots. The cause is apparent
the increased railroad facilities and
the climate which is most exhilirat-
ing especially at this time OF the year
MANY fine and costly residences have
been constructed of late and rs many
more are now under way. The splen-
did class of people that are filing INTO
Los Angeles and are fast making this
the coming metropolis OF the State
are seeking homes near the sea,
especially where there is always a
delightfully."- fresh breeze and none OF
that disagreeable warmth that is
experienced inland. Seeing the
unprecedented demand for property in
this section Mr.. ii. i. Jones
who owns a fine tract of land known
as the Ocean Spray tract, decided to
sub-divide it and sell the lots at auc-
ton to the highest bidder. The Ocean
Spray tract consists of some 25 acres
of high elevated land, which begins
at the top of the first hill east of the
beach and extends toward the edge OF
the bluff between the town OF Santa
Monica and the Ballona Harbor. The
location of the property is very choice
and the Santa Fe railroad, which is
now running to the Ballona Harbor,
will shortly be extended to Santa
Monica, and the depot of this road has
been located Immediately in front OF
this property, and within two or three
blocks OF it's northern boundary line.
The prospects are also that this road
will be extended along the beach and |
connect with the motor road to be
built along the foothills into Los An
geles. The Ocean Spray tract is
within a block of the street-car line
that runs along the whole front of
Santa Monica. The subdiving of the
tract was done in a liberal manner. The
streets and avenues already laid out
are very wide and cement sidewalks
have been laid around each block.
Water which is abundant and flows
from the mountains is piped to every
lot.
A grand excursion, in two sections,
will leave Los Angeles tomorrow,
Wednesday, August oath, at 8 A. NJ,
via the Southern Pacific Railroad, to
convey all those who may wish to at
tend this sale. An elaborate lunch
and music will be provided on this
occasion, and those who shall avail
themselves of this opportunity can
spend delightful day at the beach,
and if they purchase lot will not go
very far astray.

BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.
LONDON, August 22.-The Mark Lane E1-
press. in its review of the British grain trade
during the past week, says; The rainfall has
checked the shipping and delivery OF wheat
and consequently has arrested the downward
course of prices, although values in London
and in some provincial markets have contin.
ued in favor of the buyers. Estimates based
on the Government statement as an average
of the crops for 1887, place the new yield OF
wheat at about 6,25O,OOO quarters, after de-
ducting 100000 quarters for seed. The
foreign wheat trade is devoid OF feature
Russian and American samples are compet-
ing at lowest rates.

with them. AS result the Gibson
Ministry has fallen and a cabinet

M. Green, has been appointed. King
Kalakaua is permitted to remain, al
though divested of oil present power,
having acceeded to the demand for q
new constitution and agreed to abide
by the will OF the people. The King
is thoroughly alarmed. On July l
he called a meeting of representatives
of foreign governments. to whom he
offered to transfer his power pro tenn.
These officials refused to accept the
trust, but advised the King 10 lose
no time in forming new constitution

A Contrast as to the Weather

Boston, July 18.-A letter has
been received from the fishing
schooner, Annie M. Jordan, dated
Iceland, June 10, saying that there il
great suffering on the Island from
destitution. 1t is surrounded by
masses of packed icebergs and fishing
is impossible. The masses of ice 80
reduce the temperature that snow was
falling up to date, while the mercury
was down to 20 degrees. The island,
especially the uplands, are buried in
snow. On May the temperature
was 20 degrees below zero. A large
number Of fishing craft are held on
the ice and are so badly crushed that
as soon as break up occurs they will
sink. Their crews have taken refuge
on shore and are living on stale fish,
all other food being exhausted AS
for the natives, they are literally
starving. Tho Jordan picked up the
news from the wrecked crew of
schooner which had been lost while
trying TO force passage out Of the
ice. They had been on q berg four
days wben rescued, having lived on
the meat of the vessels dog, which
they had to kill. The failure of this
fishing will be loss Of 100000 to
Gloucester and Marblehend.
